Pause by the orchid. Listen to the bluebird sing. Be love.

Roots and Wings

I crossed paths with a wonderful thought this weekend on a wall at a children’s clothing store. The words came from Henry Ward Beecher and read, “There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots, and the other wings.”

These words were spoken nearly 200 years ago.

They were true then. They’re true today. And they will be true tomorrow.

This week, may the Muse fasten our music in ‘why’ and, in doing so, let it soar with purpose.
